I wouldn't even trust a Klein's BF

 

[sfsuphysics]

Ditto, don't trust a single damn one... granted for FOWLR or in a tank with out of control softies you don't care about terribly much, by all means. But established reef with corals you do care about... not a chance in hell

 

[prodman]

dosent anyone like living on the edge? I would feel fine with a copperband or tinkers etc in a sps dominated reef.

I have a CBB in my 200g. I love them for aptasia control since nothing ever worked for me long term. Forget Kleins, I gave up after 6 of them. Just make sure you get a large one that is eating at the LFS before purchasing. I have mainly SPS with chalices, zoos and acans.

Pyramids do well in a reef and occassionally will also help with aiptasia control. Never tried a CBB. Wouldn't risk it with any other ones since our reef is mixed.
